Chapter 31 King Duan is killed
The next day, Yuan Shan had just returned from buying the famous Qingzhou pastries for Xie Wenyu. He met Daochang Zhang looking inside downstairs of the inn.

Zhang Daochang saw that Yuanshan was a kind-faced man, so he grabbed him.

"This little brother, is there anyone named Yuan Shan in the inn?"

Yuan Shan looked him up and down, but did not answer his words directly.

"What are you doing with Yuanshan?"

Daochang Zhang chuckled and said, "Lin Jiangyue of Dashi Village asked me to come to Yuanshan. This is a letter of introduction."

Although Yuan Shan is usually a talker, when he mentioned that Lin Jiangyue introduced him, he also knew that the matter was not that simple, so he took the letter of introduction and asked him to wait downstairs of the post house.

The letter of introduction fell into King Duan's hands, and he sighed after reading it carefully.

"Lin Jiangyue, you are really good at it. A Taoist priest who committed a crime was sent to me to help her deal with it."

In addition to the letter, there was also the talisman and seal script given to him by Lin Jiangyue. He looked at it carefully and raised his head to ask Yuanshan.

"What about the Taoist?"

"Just downstairs."

"Tie him up. Ask him what he and Xuan Daozi did. Don't be soft-hearted."

Yuan Shan has been following Li Yi for many years. He felt the murderous look in Li Yi's eyes and immediately knew what to do.

After receiving the order, he went out and closed the door.

Li Yi folded the third letter Lin Jiangyue gave him carefully and put it in a book. The night attack on Qingzhou did not yield much. After staying here for so many days, not only the news about the prince disappeared, but also Qingzhou and Xuandaozi. The trace of clues between them has also been interrupted. Now, under the eyes of Zheng Qinjin, the prefect of Qingzhou, it may be difficult to find anything.

Li Yi lowered his head and pondered. If he wanted to gain something, he had to break the situation.

It was late at night, and Yuanshan saw that the oil lamp in Li Yi's room was still on, so he knocked on the door and came in.

He reported in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I've already done this. This is his pledge."

Li Yi looked at the white paper spread out in front of him. Every word was written about the evil deeds of Zhang Daozhang and his master Xuan Daozi in Qingzhou.

"Pretend to be a ghost, harm the people, and leave it to the Qingzhou magistrate to deal with."

Yuan Shan grinned and said, "Your Majesty, I guess it would be hard for him to wake up."

Li Yi raised his eyes and said nothing, waving his hand for Yuan Shan to step back.

The spring breeze broke into the house and the oil lamp was blown out.

Li Yi was breathing evenly while lying in bed. There was a sound of breaking the door, and several tall gangsters wearing night clothes quickly poured into Li Yi's room.

Li Yi heard the sound and sat up. When he opened his eyes, he felt that his eyes were stinging and he couldn't see anything. He fumbled and picked up the sword on the bedside and took a few moves from the gangster.

Relying on his hearing and agility, he dodged the sword that struck him.

"Who sent you here? The queen or the uncle?"

The leader of the gangster laughed twice, "Didn't King Duan mean the same thing?"

After saying that, he stepped forward and stabbed again, only to hear a ding sound. Li Yi drew his sword faster than him. He leaned slightly and the sword penetrated the criminal's shoulder, piercing him firmly.

Is this Duanwang swordsmanship really invisible?The leader of the gangster hesitated.

"Give it to me, and leave no one alive."

After giving the order, Li Yi frowned. Yuanshan and Xingshui still didn't come. They were considered two of the top ten masters in the capital. These two people were also let go?

Thinking of this, the blood on the sword under the night light was dazzling, and he felt cold inside. A dozen gangsters surrounded him, but they were frightened by the murderous aura around him and hesitated to step forward.

It seems that the person who wants to harm him can't wait any longer and will kill him here before he returns to the capital.

Downstairs of the inn, Yuan Shan and Xing Shui lay unconscious at the door with their eyes closed. The entire inn fell into deathly silence, except for the sound of fierce fighting upstairs.

Then, a raging fire broke out in King Duan's room.With a crackling sound, Yuan Shan and Xing Shui woke up from their coma. When they saw the burning inn behind them, they exclaimed.

"The prince is still inside! Save the prince!"

Xie Wenyu woke up in the thick smoke and was surprised to find that the post was on fire. He ran downstairs and happened to encounter the distant mountains going upstairs.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is still inside!"

Xie Wenyu immediately turned around and wanted to rescue Li Yi with Yuanshan.

"Thank you, Master, please stop causing trouble and get down quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang, and a burning roof beam fell down, hitting Xie Wenyu's side with a bang, completely cutting off the way into Li Yi's room.

"It can't be done, it can't be done, you go first, I'll go in and save the prince!"

Xie Wenyu froze on the spot, his eyes red from the smoke, and Xing Shui went upstairs and dragged him downstairs.

The post house burned very quickly, and within a short time the entire structure was about to collapse.

Xie Wenyu stood dumbly downstairs, looking at the slowly falling building, tears streaming down his red eyes.

"Uncle, uncle."

Yuan Shan rushed out of the post house before it completely collapsed. There were still flames on his clothes, and he rolled around a few times before putting them out.

Xie Wenyu grabbed his collar and asked loudly.

"Where is my uncle? Where is Prince Duan?"

Yuan Shan was even more heartbroken than Xie Wenyu. This was the master he had followed for many years. He had accompanied him on his expeditions to the north and south, and now he died in this strange fire. Why did he and Xing Shui become poisoned and comatose? Everything was very unfair. Reasonable.

"Are you dead? Don't you even know it's on fire?"

Xie Wenyu's eyes were terribly red, like an angry beast.

Although Li Yi was usually very strict with him and they were distantly related by blood, he liked to follow Li Yi since he was a child, calling him uncle one after another. Li Yi treated him well and always left good things to him.

Thinking of this, he felt sad, with two lines of tears streaming down his dark face, and his white underwear had turned black and yellow.

"I'm guilty! I'm late!"

Zheng Qinjin came with his troops, knelt down towards the post, kowtowed and said.

Xie Wenyu raised his leg and kicked him, knocking him to the ground.

"Why don't you go save people! Why are you dawdling here? My uncle is dead, and you will all be buried with him!"

Zheng Qinjin was so frightened that he lost his mind and kept mumbling.

"I'm guilty! I'm guilty!"

But his eyes were fixed on the fire scene. He naturally did not hope that Li Yi could walk out of the fire scene alive, and he was even more regretful that Xie Wenyu did not die inside.

When the fire went out and Li Yi's room was found, only a charred corpse was left.

Zheng Qinjin knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, while Xie Wenyu shouted like crazy.

"Prepare your horse and report to the emperor immediately!"

"Zheng Qinjin, I will cut you into pieces with a thousand knives!"

Zheng Qinjin, who was kneeling on the ground, quietly showed a sly smile.
-
In Dashi Village, Lin Jiangyue was sleeping soundly. Suddenly she felt a stabbing pain in her heart and opened her eyes.

I have never felt this flustered before.

Lin Jiangyue was born in Xuanmen, but she never counted it as her own business. She looked out the dark window and thought for a while, then counted on her fingers.

Suddenly his eyes opened and he was in trouble!
